Best Explanation for Why Trump Pulled Out Of Paris

[lovemydogs]

I just turned on MSNBC because I would not watch Trump. I cannot stand his voice.
Nicole Wallace was on and one of her guest's was Donnie Deutsch.
He said he's worked for CEOs like Trump. He calls them Sociopath Ceos.
He said they come into a company and even if everything is working well and going great, they have to destroy everything to justify their existence.
He said that Trump is like that.
He is destroying everything (much like Bannon's wet dream of destroying western civilization as it has been since WWII) to put his mark on things and justify his presidency.
Doesn't matter if it is a disaster. He comes out of that world and needs to destroy.
Sociopath CEO

1. That is how I ended up unemployed after 33 years with one company

Creepy VP came in one day and closed down the entire engineering staff. Gone, don't need them any more.

That VP and Butternut do have a lot in common.

2. I think it's because he can't afford to alienate his ignorant, hateful base.

He needs his little Nuremberg-Lite ego stroking rallies to be well-attended to convince himself he's loved. If he loses that, he loses everything.

3. It plays to his ignorant base.

It's not more complicated than that. Republicans need to keep that base loyal and engaged.

[Amaryllis]

4. I think it's more than playing to his base. OP is right;sociopaths like this thrive on destruction.

5. He's is obsessed with getting back at Obama

Obama totally destroyed Trump at the Correspondent's Dinner and Trump suffered a great humiliation, sitting there having to take in all Obama's words. Trump never got over this and probably hates Obama more than any other human on earth. That is why he is hellfire on undoing all the things that Obama accomplished as president.

7. I believe you are the winner! He's jealous, envious and hates him at the same time..n/t

9. You're Right

If Obama built it, worked for it, or liked it, shitgibbon is hellbent on tearing it down and throwing it out. It has nothing to do with it being good or bad. His sole reason is that Obama wanted it.

That's some real psychopathy right there.

[Mister Ed]

11. And he knows - with certainty - that Obama is a vastly better man than he is. n/t

[Luz]

12. And he knows that WE know, too.

6. Like a dog pissing on a hydrant.

He has to be sure he's being noticed over the other dogs that passed by. If he were to just let things move along pretty smoothly like they have been, he'd be effectively acknowledging that Obama was a good president, and of course he couldn't have *that*.

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Nope

Trump is completely manipulated by the Bannon wing, and prone to fits of temper. That's the only explanation you need for this. He's not more complex than he looks, but less. He's a moron, put plainly, and mean little fucker. Full stop.

10. That's Definitely a Republican/ Plutocrat Thing, Though...

Part of the conservative Republican pattern of FAILING UPWARDS.


Best example...CARLY FIORINA.

Moves in as CEO of HP...then WRECKS IT! But all the wrecking was the result of her taking "BOLD, DECISIVE" actions to prove how DECISIVE she is! Trump is just doing the same thing. "I'm in charge now, and we're going to CHANGE COURSE COMPLETELY! BOLD, DECISIVE ACTIONS!"

Make a lot of noise
Blow a lot of smoke
Get a reputation for being 'THE DECIDER'
Wreck the place, and leave with a giant GOLDEN PARACHUTE....

13. I think the laughing comment was telling.

This, and destruction of ACA, are his revenge for the WHCD in 2011. People *laughed* at him then, and he's never gotten over it. (People who display behaviors consistent with the Cluster B are infamous for holding onto grudges, carrying slights forever, having no ability to laugh at themselves, and having almost no intellectual sense of humor in general. They do okay with practical jokes and the crueler of the physical comedy, but they often don't even get puns.)

I think there's a good chance that at least Macron, Merkel and May were dismissive to cold to him last week, and I'm certain there was at least one moment where everyone smothered giggles or had difficulty keeping a straight face. This is another vengeance. The fact that Macron basically stops at coldly cordial at best, and that Merkel is now publicly rolling her eyes and sniffing at him chews on his fragile, over-inflated ego.

Assholes like this really are that petty because the only pain in the world is their own and the rest of us are supposed to play by their rules or not exist at all.

14. exactly right. As long as he can Trump will do as much destruction as possible

Is Putin compensating him somehow? That's what it looks like, on its face.
